Abstract

This work is theoretical-analytical and aims at identifying the panoramic studies of linguists Michael Halliday & Christian Matthiessen (2004) and Norman Fairclough (2001, 2003), noting the points of encounter and difference between their two approaches. We present a comparative exposure through data that demonstrate the concepts and the most profitable linguistic categories about re- presentation to these scientists. We apply the theoretical proposal developed by them in the analysis of a news story about the representation of LGBT activism (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender), to verify the relevance and critical social theory advocated by the authors cited.
